SOUTH FULTON, Ga. — The Fulton County Development Authority has approved $16 million in tax breaks so Amazon can buy and modernize a warehouse to create a fulfillment center in the city of South Fulton.
The authority’s board approved funds on Tuesday evening for the 153-acre facility along Campbellton Road.
The company said the center will help strengthen Amazon’s national logistics network in the area.
